ABOUT ME

Isn't this what all the rest of the description categories on my profile are for?

PHILOSOPHY

A strange combination of Jack Kerouac musings, Douglas Adams humor, Mark Twain characters, and stolen philosophies of other couchsurfers giftwrapped in pages torn out of a King James and sent to Bob Dylan to be written down as liner notes for his next "Greatest Hits" album.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

This will change daily if we learn to open our eyes a little wider.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I'm very enthusiastic about sharing my music with the world, and more than willing to teach what I can therein. On a more practical and base level, I'm happy to help out around the house of my host or cook a meal in exchange for a roof to sleep under!
